key points

In this ranking, four neighbors of the country have been given even higher positions than India. According to the report, Myanmar third in this ranking, Bangladesh seventh, Pakistan eighth and Nepal are at eleventh position. This index explains why four neighboring countries of India are more affected by extreme weather events.

This index analyzes the quantitative effect of extreme weather events (storm, flood, fierce heat etc.) in case of death and economic loss. In addition, this index keeps the effect of these effects in full and also with related conditions.

However, during 1998-2017, 73,212 people were victims of extreme seasonal incidents in India and during this time period, the number of annual average deaths of India was 3,660 due to extreme weather events, which is the second highest average after Myanmar’s annual average death number 7,048 the number is.

Due to population adjustment, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal have been placed above India in the list. In order to assess the economic impact, CRI also looks at the loss of unit GDP per country.

During 1998-2017, India had to face super cyclone, other cyclones, floods, landslides and heavy rains and fierce heat incidents in Odisha. In view of the CRI only for the year 2017, India is again at 14th position in a separate list, while Nepal is fourth and Bangladesh is ninth.

The report also mentions heavy rain in these three countries in the year 2017, which affected 4 million people and caused about 1,200 deaths. Sri Lanka, whose 20th year’s ranking is 31st, has been ranked second in the year 2017 (this year, more than 200 deaths due to heavy rains and landslides).

In contrast, Myanmar and Pakistan, which are among the 15 countries most affected in the 1998-2017 list, are ranked 69th and 33rd respectively in the list of the year 2017. In Myanmar’s 20-year list, this situation is largely due to the cyclone Nargis in 2008, due to which 1.40 million people were estimated to be killed.

In the 14th edition of this year’s analysis, the results of the earlier climate risk index have been reaffirmed that generally less developed countries are more affected than extreme weather events compared to industrialized countries.

It has been suggested in the report that the climate summit in Katowice should be adopted in the ‘rule book’ necessary for the implementation of the Paris Agreement, including global optimization goals and optimization communication guidelines.

For the list of 2017, Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka and Dominica were the most affected countries in the year 2017 due to extreme weather events. This is followed by Nepal, Peru and Vietnam. Puerto Rico and Dominica were severely affected by Hurricane Maria in September 2017

In total, the death of more than 5,26,000 people between 1998 and 2017 and the loss of 3.47 trillion US dollars (in purchasing power parity) was due to direct result of more than 11,500 extreme seasonal incidents.

During 1998-2017, eight of the ten most affected countries and regions were developing countries with low incomes or low-income groups, a country (Dominica) was classified as a high-middle income country and one The other country (Puerto Rico) was classified as an advanced economy producing higher income.
